Founded in Shanghai in 1923, the firm also had operations in Hong Kong. Wu Zhifan became CEO of Tien Chu Ve-Tsin.[1]
Following the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Tien Chu Ve-Tsin became a state owned enterprise. It is currently owned by Shanghai Industrial Holdings.[2]
The Hong Kong unit became Tien Chu Ve-Tsin Chemical Limited of Hong Kong in the 1950s, but it was still owned by the mainland parent firm. The factory is located in Kowloon.
Tien Chu was awarded a gold prize at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago.
Tien Chu products are now found overseas in Chinese supermarkets and sold in plastic bags or blue and gold tins.
